Question 1

What contaminants does a whole house filter remove in Oakland?

Accepted Answer

Our whole-house filtration systems for Oakland homes remove chloramines, chlorine, sediment, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), disinfection byproducts (THMs), and taste/odor issues. They're designed specifically for Oakland's chloramines-treated municipal water.

Question 2

Will a whole house filter reduce water pressure in my Oakland home?

Accepted Answer

No. Our systems are designed with high-flow tanks and media that maintain full water pressure even during peak usage. We size every system based on your home's pipe diameter and expected flow rate. Most Oakland homeowners don't notice any pressure change.

Question 3

How often do whole house filters need to be changed in Oakland?

Accepted Answer

The main filtration media in our whole-house systems typically lasts 5–7 years for Oakland water. Pre-filters (sediment) are changed every 3–6 months. We monitor your system and notify you when it's time.

Question 4

Can a whole house filter remove PFAS from Oakland water?

Accepted Answer

Standard whole-house carbon filters reduce some PFAS, but for maximum PFAS removal, we recommend pairing your whole-house system with an under-sink reverse osmosis unit. This combination gives you filtered water throughout the house and near-zero PFAS at your drinking water tap.
